It may take some sleuthing at your local natural foods store to find all the ingredients for this trail mix, but it's well worth the effort. On days when I'm busy seeing patients, I've been known to eat a large helping of this mix as my lunch. Make sure to choose organic nuts and seeds whenever they're available.
Mix ingredients together in roughly equal proportions and store in an airtight container. Use within a month, because the oils in nuts can go rancid. One serving equals 2 ounces.

My Approach To Total Wellness
As an integrative cardiologist, I prefer to treat heart disease with the best mix of conventional and alternative medicine techniques.
